Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 26, 1918.

Application filed February 25, 1909. Serial No. 480,052.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN ROYDEN Pnmcn, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Check-Making, &c., of which the following is a specification.

In restaurants it is common for the waiters to write on their checks the goods ordered. and after getting the goods to have the prices thereof stamped on the check by a clerk, so as to avoid error and save collusion between the Waiters and the guests to cheat the restaurant. This invention provides machines for doing the work of such a clerk or any similar class of work, and for performing several supplementary accounting operations. the chief of which is the adding of the individual amounts printed and the carrying of the total always on the check, and this notwithstanding the fact that the waiter may receive or fill the order in sections at diflerent times, and that the machine in the interval will have to be used for making out checks for other Waiters. This operation is preferably insured by perforating the card in a manner to indicate according to any desired system the last total, and by using such perforations when the card is again put into the machine to properly influence the next total. The machine may also carry adding wheels which register the total of all the amounts recorded. The checks thus made out may also he used by the cashier in listing machines and in various other Ways. The machine may also be arranged for keeping a separate total of the checks of each Waiter; this individual account being listed on a ribbon of paper. or being simply registered in the machine where it can be inspected at any time; this mechanism being referred to as a distributing mechanism. The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention.

Figure 1 is a face View of a check mad out with this machine.

Fig. :2 is a face view of a. modified check.

Figs. 3 to 7 inclusive illustrate a simple type of apparatus.

Fig. 3 is a left-hand side elevation of a machine Without the distributing attachment.

Fig. 4 is a plan, partly in horizontal sec tion, of the same machine.

Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section through the amount printing portion of the same machine (approximately on the line 55 of.

Fig. 4).

Fig. 6 is a parallel section through the balance punchlng mechanism of the same machine (approximately on the line 6Ei of Fig. 4).

Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 of Fig. 6.

Fig. 7 is a table illustrating the system of perforating adopted.

Figs. 8 to 24 inclusive illustrate a similar machine with a distributing attachment.

Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section (that is to say, from front to back) through the balance punching portion of the machine having a distributing attachment (approximately on the line 88 of Fig. 22).

Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8 of Fig. 8.

Fig. 9 is a sectional view on a plane parallel with that of Fig. 8 and just in the rear thereof (approximately on the line 9-9 of Fig. 22) for punching waiters numbers.

Fig. 9' is a section through the line 9 of Fig. 9.

Fig. 9* is a table illustrating the system of perforations for Fig. 9.

Fig. 10 is a side elevation of the righthand side of the distributing mechanism (approximately on the line 10-40 ot Fig. 22).

Figs. 10 and 10 are similar views of a part of the mechanism of Fig. 10 in differ ent positions.

Fig. 10 is a view in full lines of a part of the apparatus shown in dotted lines in Fig. 10.

Fig. 11 is a side elevation of the left-hand side of the check-making part of a machine (approximately on the; I line 11-41 of Fig. 22). v

' Fig. 11 is a detail of Fig. 11.
